GRIN plasmonics paves way for exotic optics
January 25, 2011:
Engineers at UC Berkeley and LBNL have demonstrated a new microscopy technique using gradient index (GRIN) plasmonics that could lead to high-powered lenses capable of imaging DNA molecules with visible light. The achievement could also help pave the way for the development of invisibility devices.
